Another version from New Look 6226 , Simplicity for the challenge "Too Wild for You?"

When "La Pantigana" challenged me to discover my "wild side", I thought the most "wild" that I can be is grow up my nails and paint them black ... my "savagery" just end at that point. But when I saw the fabric that was implicit in the challenge .. I just could not refuse!

The most delicious and soft knitted fabric for I to sew with it whatever I want, who can resist that ?? When I received the fabric, I immediately thought who better to enjoy it than Antonella, the my youngest son's girlfriend . She has nothing wild, but she looks great in it and that sweet smile is the perfect counterpoint to this fabric.

This jacket is another version (actually this is the first I made a few weeks ago) New Look 6226, Simplicity and this time I respected the original pattern from the beginning to the end of the garment including pockets in the side seams and separable zipper for the front. I used black knitted fabric to emphasize the different pattern pieces and it's lined with white knitted fabric to make it warmer.

Nothing is too wild for me and I adore that jacket. Your son is a very lucky young man and - if he's smart and he marries her - Antonella can make the claim that she is EQUALLY lucky because her MOTHER-IN-LAW IS THE BOMB!
